SPECIFICATION forming part of Iietters Patent No. 768,628, dated. August so, 1904.

Application filed January 5, 1903.

- gheny, in the county of Allegheny and State :of

' Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Oil and Steam Separators, of which improvement the following isaspecification.

My invention relates to devices commonly called oil andsteam separators; and the ob ject of my invention is to produce a simple, cheap,and efiicient device of this general character; and to accomplishthis object my invention consists in the novel construction and arrangementof parts hereinafter described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 indicates a central longitudinal section of my improved steamand oil separator. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on line 2 20f Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on line 3 3 of Fig. I. Fig. 4 is a horizontal central section of. a'vertical form of my device. Fig. 5 is a modified form of my device applied as an exhaust-head.

Like reference characters indicate like parts wherever they occur.

Referring to said drawings, 1 indicates a shell having an inlet-port 2 and an outletport 3. The outlet of said shell is closed by a cap or head 4, which is bolted to the flange 5 of said shell. The said head is provided with an inwardly-projecting boss 6, in which a centrally-disposed opening a is formed. A ring 7, which is provided with an opening 0 in alinement with said opening a, is secured to said head or may be integral therewith and is provided with a screw-thread to receive the threaded end of the outlet-pipe 8.

likewise secured to said lugs, the contracted end' of the same terminating in the solid ba fiie-plate 1 1. The said baffie-plate 13 at the lower or inner end thereof is inclosed or surrounded by a solid bafiie-funnel 15, which extends from the bottom of the transverse baffleplate 14: almost to the top of the perforated cone-baffle 13. A drain or drip pipe 16 extends from the space between said cones 13 and 14 to carry off condensation and is perforated at w to drain the plate 14:. A long drip-pipe cl eXtends'from the, channel formed by the curved lower edges of the cone and is discharged into the space below the solid bafiie and thence is carried to the atmosphere by pipe 17. I

In Figs. 3 and ii: I show a modified form of my device in which the device is horizontally disposed and provided with adrip-receptacle. The device shown in these two figures may be used either as an oil or steam separator and consists of a shell 18, having an inlet-port 19 and an outlet-port 20, in which supply and discharge pipes 21 22 are respectively secured. A bafiie-funnel 23, having a diverging or widened inner end and an open contracted end, is located in alinement with the inlet- The sides of said'funnel are provided with numerous V-shaped perforations 2 .1. The said funnel is also provided with a flange 25,

' which is secured to the corresponding flange 26 of the corresponding butoppositely-disposed funnel 27-. A solid bafiie-plate 28 extends partially across the space inclosed between the two funnels, and a perforated horizontally-disposed plate almost subdivides the funnel 27 into two compartments. receptacle 29 is connected to the outer shell 18 at a point intermediate the length thereof by the pipe 30. A solid cone-bafiie 31 surrounds and closes the contracted end of the funnel 27, a space 32 being formed between the walls thereof, into whichthe steam is compelled to enter .on its way to the discharge. The moisture of condensation is carried down said cone baffie-plate 31 to the drip-receptacle 29 by means of pipe 30.

In Fig. 5 I show the device of Figs. 1 and 2 applied as an exhaust-head, which comprises the shell a, one end of which is closed A dripby a ca 7). havin an inwardly- )rojecting boss 0, which is provided with an opening f in alinement with the exhaust-pipe (7. A short distance above the open end of said boss is located a dished baffle-plate 7L which is supported above said boss by the inverted-cone-shaped funnel 1:, the upper diverging sides of which are flanged and riveted to the sides of the shell. A similar funnel j is secured to said'funnel i, and the contracted end terminates a short distance below the exit of the shell. A solid cone-shaped funnel 7t surrounds the upper end of tunnel 7, being secured to the upper end thereof. The lower end of said funnel Z: terminates ashort distance above the trough Z, which is supported on drip-pipes m m, secured in the walls of tunnel Drip-pipes are secured to the g dished pan 71, which is secured to the lower Adrip-chamber p is formed on one side of said shell (0, and an opening 1 1 formed in the Wall of said shell to permit water of condensation to pass into said chaml l l l end of funnel i.

her and from thence to the exterior through pipe 1.

I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent l. A device of the character dcscri bed eomprising a shell having inlet and outlet ports,

two juxtaposed cone-shaped funnels, the end of one of said funnels being closed by a bafilcplate and surrounded by an llllDOlfOltttOtl funnel, the said juxtaposed funnels having perforations therein.

2. A device of the character described commy name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
